The Health Department says most people who are infected do not become sick, but about 20 percent develop flu-like symptoms.

While 25 people have been killed across the country as of September 4, some 262 people were affected by the fever, a statement said.

The Clark County Health Department will continue to collect and test mosquitoes, as well as spray pesticides until the year's first freezing temperatures.

The chance of getting seriously ill or dying from West Nile is low, according to the DHEC statement. The disease can not be transmitted between animals and humans. In rare cases, the illness can be serious and even fatal.
